And I can't see any evidence that you're using an HDR environment, which means you can get back a lot of render time by eliminating the (blurred) reflection. The reflection component of leaves is rather low, and without a bright sky will amount to nearly nothing. That's a lot of computes to calculate 0.
On the other hand, if you were doing this in a properly executed outdoor environment, you'd see a huge difference.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
